When is Noah Lyles' next race? What we know about Olympics status amid COVID-19 diagnosis

Whether Noah Lyles is back on the track in the men's 4x100-meter relay final, aiming to help Team USA win a medal in the event for the first time in 20 years at the 2024 Paris Olympics , remains a question.

After an exciting 4x100-meter preliminary heat in which the Jamaican team suffered a surprising defeat, Team USA men's relay will compete for the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Team USA won their heat easily with a time of 37.47 seconds, even without their star runner, Noah Lyles, who did not run to rest for the 200-meter final.

The 100-meter gold medalist, Lyles, was expected to compete in the 4x100-meter relay finals. However, after finishing third in the 200-meter finals, it was discovered that he had tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday morning. Despite opting to compete in the 200-meter finals, Lyles said he is inclined to let Team USA compete in the 4x100-meter relay finals without him, as he believes the team has enough speed to win the gold.

Regardless of Lyles status, here is how to watch the 4x100-meter relay final on Day 14 of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
